TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 It seems a major bug is in this version. I have had the file date changed on files in the new version. So I rebuilt the database, problem still there. I then recopied the files and indexed then again. During the inital index the dates were changed again. Anyone else having this problem? Just lost a weeks work, as the backups were overwritten before I noticed, bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Uninstalled and then reinstalled Daminion. Still doing it. I will now go back to previous version to see what happens. For some strange reason it changed the date to 13 June 2016 (today for me) or 18 Dec 2015! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Can you please clarify your situation: - Do you meam that File Dates of your files were changed outsidely of Daminion or Creation DateTimes were changed for your files? Do it possible to record us a brief screencast video using this utility so you could try to reproduce this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I cannot install ver 4.5 as I did not keep a copy. Typical did a big clean up the other day and deleted it. Murat can you please upload the latest build of ver 4.5, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Murat It is changing the Creation DateTime, when I import. Video is of no use as the Creation DateTime is already changed when I first view it in Daminion after the import. I checked the Creation DateTime before import and then see the new date after import.

Murat Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Do you set a CreationDateTime in your Tag Preset of Import Window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 No I checked. On second occasion I used NO Tag Preset and it still happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Can you please show me your Import Tag Preset panel and Writing Metadata preferences of your Daminion Server admin panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 The first time I noticed this issue, was in files that were imported a week ago. The only thing I did today was upgrade to ver4.6 from ver4.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Can you record me a brief screencast video and send me it to [email protected] so we could reproduce this issue? Can you also send me a sample video file? You can share it vis dropbox or wetransfer.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Installed ver4.1 and it is still doing it. I tripled checked the Tag Preset, it is set to None. It was previously Default but no fields were active. So I am at a loss at the moment on what it maybe. Open to suggestions. I had a crash this morning in Daminion, but I have reintalled the software, ver 4.6 then 4.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Can you please show me your Import Tag Preset panel and Writing Metadata preferences of your Daminion Server admin panel? I use the stand alone version. Screen capture below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 We need a screencast video and a sample video from you in order to reproduce this issue. My apologizes, but this is the third time I asked you for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I do not know how to make the video you requested. Before I learn how to make a video I wish to completely uninstall Daminion. One possibility is that the crash early today damaged the Tag Presets. Do you have instructions on how to do this? Each I uninstall, the Presets are there again when I reinstall the software. So I must be missing a directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Just download and run it. It is a pretty simple utility. It allows you to record all your screen action into a video file. If you follow the above link you will see the screen recorder button. Tag presets are stored in this folder: c:\Users\Murat\AppData\Roaming\Daminion Software\Daminion\1.0\ You need to close Daminion, then rename the above folder and run Daminion again.

TheDocAUS2 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I spent the last day or so fixing up my little disaster. Originally I thought there may have been a bug in Daminion ver 4.6 as I noticed the problem (changed CreationDate) shortly after I upgraded. But when the problem remained after I installed versions 4.6, 4.5 and 4.1 I looked for another cause. It turns out the problem started a few days before the upgrade, I just noticed it after upgrading. As best as I can work out, a Daminion crash a few days before damaged one or more of the Tag Presets. So when I imported am image into the library the CreationDate field was changed to the time of import. In addition, anytime I used a Tag present the CreationDate was updated, even though the Presets did not have this field active. It appears the problem is being caused by partially corrupt Tag Presets and I do not know which ones (it happens even when TagPresets is set to None on import). So I need to uninstall them from my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDocAUS2 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Tag presets are stored in this folder: c:\Users\Murat\AppData\Roaming\Daminion Software\Daminion\1.0\ You need to close Daminion, then rename the above folder and run Daminion again. Thanks Murat. Initial tests suggests this fixes the problem. So some files are corrupt in that directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
